A we'll known and successful Erie
county physician who has retired
from practice, requests the Gazette
to publish the following remedy for
pneumonia: Take six or ten raw
onions, according to size, and chop
fine; put them in a stew pan or
spinder, over good fire, add about
abe same quantity of rye meal and
vinegar, enough to form a thick
paste; let it simmer from five to ten
minutes, and then apply to the chest
in cotton or linen bag us hot as the
patient can bear; renew with another
as it gets cool, and continue in this
manner until the patient is out OF
danger, which will surely be the
case in a few hours. This simple
remedy should be known in every
family, as its value is inestimabIe.-

Hot lemonade, taken just before
retiring, is a well-known remedy
for cold in it's first stages. Every
body, however, is not familiar with
the lemon cure for an acute attact of
hoarseness. For this purpose, first
roast lemon in the oven, turning
it now and then, that all sides may
be equally cooked. 1t should not
crack or burst, but be soft all through.
While the lemon is still very hot,
cut a piece from the top, fill it with
as much sugar as it will hold and

KeeDinR Onions,

Every year, says Joseph Harris in New
England Farmer, we have many letters
asking us for some method of keeping
seed onions In our own case we should
not tr7 to keep them, unless it were few
bushels for family use. Sell them for
what you can get and pocket the loss.
There are many ways of keeping good,
sound, ripe, dry onions. The great point
is to keep them dry. But you must rec
ollect that zen a ripe, dry onion contains
at least ~ per cent, OF water, and when
large mass of them are kept together
they are liable to ''sweat," and the
skins and tops become damp; and If
the temperature is above freezing they
will throw out roots and commence to
grow, just as they would in the damp
soil. If it is necessary to keep them in
large mass, put them in dry place, such
as shed or barn; then they will freeze
solid, and stay frozen till wanted in
spring. They must be well covered to
keep them from thawing, and you should
avoid putting them in barn with base
ment underneath, where horses, cattle,
sheep or hoes are kept, as the warmth
from the animals might thaW them out,
We have Kept them perfectly on the east
side of o north and south wall, where the
snow drifts several feet high and remains

TIN spring. They were simply covered

Sheep in a Yard.

Professional sheep growers seldom turn
sheep into yard with other stock. They
have learned by experience that it does
not pay In the case of high priced
blooded stock it has sometimes been
pretty dear experience.
The farmer who keeps but few sheep
and has never made a special study of the
business cannot do better than to follow
the example of those who have; yet we
notice that it is the almost invariable Gus
tom with such farmers to allow their
sheep to take their chances among the
mixed stock Of the common yard.
In most cases they are obliged to get
their living from the straw stack, or ricks
Of hay around which vicious horned cattle
hold sway. Many Of the more tiTnid OF
the flock will 60 hungry before they will
jeopardize themselves by crowding them
selves in to get a small share of the COM
mon rations.
Unless a sheep is killed outright, the
owner is seldom aware of an injury when
it occurs. 1t is a matter of great wonder
to him, however, that he has no more
lambs from SO many ewes. Looking at
the matter understandingly it is a greater
wonder that he has any, or that half his
ewes remain alive.
1t costs but little to have an extra yard
for the sheep opening off their own pen
or house. A few feet of lumber and few
hours time can be well expended here
The man who makes proper provision for
his sheep in this way is not the man who
says; "There amt no profit in sheep, any
way. 1 just keep few to eat up the odds
and ends" as farmer remarked to the
writer only few days ago.-Indiana

on block set in position on the head of
the barrel A strap with stirrup or loop
at one end is fastened to the other end Of

The left hand side, No. I, can be worked
up into boots, harness, belts, or for other
purposes with very little waste, while the
right hand side is badly damaged by the
deep cuts toward the middle.
The Leather Review gives the following
instructions for taking off and preserving
the hides; In taking off a hide or calf
skin never cut the throat crosswise in the
least. Slit the skin from the brislIet to
the tail, and from the brisket to the jaw;
then cut around each leg to the hoof.
Slit the hind leg from tho hoof up directly
over the gambrel and the forward legs in
front, directly over the knee, to the top of
the brisket bone. This leaves the hide or
skin, then, in the proper shape for finish
ing. Skin the head and legs carefully, to
avoid cutting them; then, commencing at
the head draw off the skin without
any further use of the knife, thereby
avoiding the holes and cuts that spoil so
many calfskins. Some farmers use
windlass to draw off the dairy skins and
others use horse; but one or two men
can do it a great deal more quickly and
easily. When taken off lay the hide or
skin fiat on the floor in a cool place where
the sun cannot shine upon it, and cover it
with salt, rather fine salt being better
than too coarse salt Do not roll it up,
but let it remain in the salt until you take
off another; then place that one upon the
other, sailing freely as before, and so on
until you get enough to make quite pile;
then commence another pile in the same
manner Do not be afraid to use salt
freely; what the skins do not require will
shake off and can be used again.

Best Varieties of Bees.

AT recent meeting of bee keepers the
subject discussed was "Best Varieties Of
Bees" Professor Cook said that no one va
riety possesses all the good qualities, but
that we must cross the best sorts and thus
eliminate the undesirable characteristics
and promote the good ones A. j. Root
stated that his colony Of Cariolans were
strongest in the spring and begun rearing
brood first, but it stored no surplus.
Many of his patrons will have hybrids
only, and he questioned if it is profitable
for honey producers to breed for any pure
race. Mr. Taylor agreed with Mr.. Root,
and said he was certain the time had come
when apiarists must feed bees for bust
ness, regardless of color OR markings. He
had found Italians very cross at time Of

Facts Farmers Ought to Know.

A. w. Cheever, excellent authority,
says that one ounce of carbolic acid dis
solved in five gallons of water and sprayed
upon grape vines when the fruit is small
has been found to check the disease known
as grape rot.
A small dash churn is easily made by
fitting a cover and a dasher to a gallon
crock. This will churn two days cream.
None Of our domestic animals furnish
more healthful meat than the sheep.
The agricultural fairs of 1886 showed
more and better horses than ever before.
There is no branch of our improved stock
breeding as progressive and prosperous as
the draft horse interest, nor any one that
is as profitable.
If you have few dollars to spare, buy
a small flock of sheep and make them q
pen and yard, and procure good thor
oughbred ram two years old to run with
the ewes. Keep an account of the cost,
and if everything goes right the money
will be doubled within O twelvemonth.

The principal reason for cracking corn
is to get it small enough so that the
chickens can swallow it without inconven-
fence This is all very well, provided the
poultry keeper chances to live near mill,
or possesses a mill of his own. 1t hap
pens, however, that many cannot procure
cracked corn as often as desirable, yet
have ample facilities for growing corn.
To this class The Poultry World suggests
the growing of corn with naturally very
small kernels. There are varieties of pop
corn which meet the case, and furnish q
fair yield. The Dwarf Pearl corn has the
smallest kernels of any variety, and at
the same time affords large sized ears to
goodly number on the stalk, so that it
yields well.
